Gerard Houllier says an in-form Emile Heskey is the best striker in the Premiership.
Heskey goes into today's game at West Ham buoyed by important recent goals against Southampton and Arsenal and in the knowledge that his manager sees no-one better than him in the country.
Houllier said: "I'm pleased to see Emile back to his best, but I am convinced there is much more to come from him.
"His pace and power is frightening and when he is playing like this he is the best in the Premiership.
"He struggled early in the season, as did many players who played in the World Cup during the summer. But I always knew we would see a different Emile Heskey in the second half of the season."
